2008 Election

Bring It, Republicans

It’s pre-game and I’m more excited than I’ve ever been for any UCLA-USC matchup. (I confess that I only wrote that so I could note, joyfully, that the Trojans CHOKED last night. *cue maniacal laughter*) 

Whatever the reason for his bizarre vacillation, I’m glad that McCain got with the program and decided to show up and explain himself to the American people tonight. From his camp (per Talking Points Memo):

Senator McCain has spent the morning talking to members of the Administration, members of the Senate, and members of the House. He is optimistic that there has been significant progress toward a bipartisan agreement now that there is a framework for all parties to be represented in negotiations, including Representative Blunt as a designated negotiator for House Republicans. The McCain campaign is resuming all activities and the Senator will travel to the debate this afternoon. Following the debate, he will return to Washington to ensure that all voices and interests are represented in the final agreement, especially those of taxpayers and homeowners.

Remember that MediaLizzy and I will be live twittering at CitizenSugar tonight. Should be a highly entertaining clash of opinions! And, of course, thoughtful discourse. 

To continue the horrible football analogies, I leave you with Slate’s prediction of McCain’s Top 10 future Hail Marys: 

1. Returns to Vietnam and jails himself.
2. Offers the post of “vice vice president” to Warren Buffett.
3. Challenges Obama to suspend campaign so they both can go and personally drill for oil offshore.
4. Learns to use computer.
5. Does bombing run over Taliban-controlled tribal areas of Pakistan.
6. Offers to forgo salary, sell one house.
7. Sex-change operation.
8. Suspends campaign until Nov. 4, offers to start being president right now.
9. Sells Alaska to Russia for $700 billion.
10. Pledges to serve only one term. OK, half a term.

  1. Yeah, it should be nice to see the Trojans beat up on a team that lost 59-0 to BYU…
